We have completed week 3 of potty training and I’d say my little guy is almost completely “day-trained”. He is in underwear full time and hasn’t had an accident in a while. When I can, I put him in a pull-up for nap time and for the past few days he has woken up dry. He is still in diapers at night, but wakes up every morning ready to go potty. It’s clear he has held it in for...

I haven’t kept up with the daily diary of my son’s potty training progress, but I will say he is doing a tiny bit worse this week. Is that normal? I mean, he’s still in underwear all day long and even took a 3 hour nap, in underwear, and woke up dry! It’s just that he’s had a few accidents per day, basically because he doesn’t want to stop what he’s doing. He will sometimes...

This morning I had my regularly scheduled appointment at the OB and was scheduled to take my glucose test. That drink is so nasty!! Anyway, everything was fine, but I told my doctor about all the braxton hicks contractions I’ve been having and that I’ve been feeling quite crampy lately. She didn’t want to take any chances so she sent me to Labor & Delivery to be monitored with a fetal non-stress...

I can’t believe we’ve only been at this for a week. It seems like Jax is is doing so well and that he’s been wearing underwear for a long time! On the other hand, the novelty of it definitely has not worn off yet. He still gets super excited over his “character” underwear (Speedracer, dinosaurs, Lightning McQueen, Mater, and the rest of the Cars gang). I have several pairs of solid...

Today I hit 28 weeks so I think it’s the start of my third trimester! I am definitely feeling it……as I lay here with indigestion, major sciatica, lower back pain, braxton hicks contractions, my baby kicking and just feeling pretty large. Please excuse the dirty streaky mirror. I took my own picture tonight so I could post it. Little boy makes my belly come to a point although I’m not...

No accidents today!! However, not to boast too much, when Jax fell asleep at nap time, I did put a pull-up on him and he definitely needed it. He did not wake up dry. We were out and about all day and must have used public toilets like 5 or 6 times.  It was quite interesting to say the least. By the end of the day, I just held Jax up and let him try to aim in the toilet. I was so tired of taking off his shorts...

It’s been a good day! Jax slept wonderfully and woke up at 7:30 a.m, went potty and we got his underwear on. He only had one accident, around 5:00 p.m. and I know it’s because he was exhausted and was having a tantrum/crying fit. I made nothing of it and he went on the potty again. At 5:30 he fell asleep (which is a whole other topic – how the heck do you avoid your child passing out at that...
